Application Verifier is designed specifically to detect and help debug memory corruptions and critical security vulnerabilities.
This is achieved by monitoring a native application's interaction with the Windows operating system, profiling its use of objects, the registry, the file system, and Win32 APIs (including heaps, handles, locks, etc), and indicating issues when and where they are discovered.
Application Verifier also includes checks to predict how well an application may perform under various account privileges. These compatibility tests are used in Windows Logo program.
Print verification tests are also available to verify your usage of the print subsystem.
